While this is the anniversary OF
our freedom from British rule, it is
also one of the days on which we
feel our slavery to the Rum Pow
er to remarkable degree. In this
region of great breweries, numer-
GUS beer-gArdens and whisky sa-
looms, tens of thousands of laborers
and others will celebrate this day
of liberty by bowling in submission
to the slavery of strong drink.
We have succeeded by hard fight
in driving the saloons from this
suburb, though we had to fight the
whisky power of Cincinnati; which
made every effort to defeat US.
They are ordered to close this
week and then there will be one
town in Hamilton County where
it is illegal to keep saloon. l
notice from the report of the Coro-
ner's Clerk in Cincinnati, that
there was 176 inquests held in
June. A large proportion of these
deaths were no doubt directly or
indirectly the cause of drink. Of
the 81 suicides, Is were German,
2 Irish and l American. The
great majority of the suicides are
among the drinking classes, and
80 also of the 9 murders and many
of the other deaths. And yet this
death dealing business is legalized
by the laws of the State and the
leading daily papers of the city
are heartily in favor of it.
When l think of the opportun-
ity West Virginia has of Kidding
herself of this Oligarchy (the rum
power) and the sad results If she
fails, l can scarcely stay on this
side of the river out of my native
State. There is, however no cause
to fear if the people ,oork, and are
not blindly led by party feeling to
vote against their own interests.
There are some hopeful signs, viz:
The Protestant ministry of the
State will be unit in the Amend
ment, and they can have a mighty
influence.
The women of the State will be
a power for the Amendment.
Most OF the political papers, if
they havn't backbone enough to
advocate the cause, will be afraid
to oppose it.
The colored vote can be secured
for the cause Of Temperance if
properly managed. 1t was the
colored vote that saved this town
from defeat. Let not the people
however feel too secure, tor you
have WHY enemy to fight.
There are some things to be feared.
The enemies of the Amendment
will work secretly.
There is a great deal OF money
in the Rum Traffic and they can
afford to spend it freely. The var
ious whisky associations of the
Nation CON bine to defeat any up
rising in individual States. They
can afford to food West Virginia
with money on the eve of the cleo
ton and will no doubt do it. The
Temperance workers have no time
to loose, if they are to get the vot-
ers so thoroughly aroused that the
outside influences can be met and
overcome. I shall feel proud of
my native State if she (though the
youngest of the States east of the
Mississippi) shall along with
Maine and Rhode Island, arise in
the vigor of her youth and hold up
the standard of freedom from the
tyrant that is expressing SO many
OF her older sisters.
